Tancist Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 (edited) Actually, it was just a "Super VF-1J" - old Arii-Imai kit in Bandai's rebox, was bought on HLJ's Christmas sale for 7$. I decided to make it in Gerwalk form, and with removable hands (no any word in instruction about gerwalk form, or hand parts, only "build the plane"). Max Genius plane. painted by Tamiya colors (first try of them, very good) unsted of my usual DuPont enamels. Nose was rebuilded cause of it's original crude proportions. As final - snap placed on Hasegawa "Macross Stand". Hope, you will like it. Now they can play together If someone interesting, moar photos of processing can be found in my livejournal.

PetarB Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 I could see them, maybe he fixed them. Anyway, that last pic made me laugh!!! Very cool! Did you know that on some of these kits they actually included a little instruction paper that showed how to 'fix' the dodgy nosecone? Looks like you figured that one out by yourself, anyway!

big F Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Like it. Looks exactly the same as my old one from back in the day. I guess thats the ultimate in mold milking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AcroRay Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 I love those old kits. A couple of my favorites from my 80s building days were the 1/72 Super 1S, and the 1/72 1A GERWALK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
